Specials

Birthday Celebrations

Maracas is a great place to celebrate the birthday of a loved one. If the birthday celebration falls on a Thursday, you get a tequila shot, a slice of cake and a souvenir birthday photo absolutely free! Otherwise, a combination of dessert, sparkler, beads, sombrero (Mexican hat) and a souvenir birthday photo costs $10.

Early bird special

Maracas runs an early bird dinner special Sunday through Thursday between 4-7pm. For $12.95, you get a three course meal – soup / salad, entree and dessert.

“All you can drink” brunch (weekends)

Every Saturday and Sunday, Maracas serves brunch with unlimited drinks – Margaritas, Mimosas and Bloody Mary. If you love margaritas, you would love this! The brunch selection is slightly limited, but would you care when the drinks are unlimited?! Cost is $12.95.

Bottomline

Who should go: College groups and people under 35 would definitely enjoy this place. It is also awesome for birthday celebrations.

Who should not go: If you are on a date or are looking for a romantic place, avoid Maracas. Also, the over 35 crowd would not enjoy this place in general – unless you are over 35 and still young at heart!
